Labor Day in VA

Yesterday, Sunday, we spent just catching up on emails, Dave doing photo editing, laundry, etc. Only went out for a short run to get drinking water and to tank up the truck. Had to even take a quick nap in the afternoon - we were up till after 1am Friday night due to the campground having a live band and then the party people did not quiet down until much later. This place is full, but fortunately we are sitting up above it all, right by the manager's RV. This is the view from our door, looking at the worker-bee's (Ed) RV and then the Manager's Montana RV. Then looking down into the transient RVs - where we were to start with. In the distance you can see the Shenandoah National Park - about 15 miles from here.

Being Labor Day and the last official 'hooray' for end of summer camping, we are watching RV after RV pull out to go home, or coming up into the area to our left (unseen in this photo) to be stored. This campground is a year-round place, not sure if we could stay here in the winter with snow. But, fun to watch the people pack up and go.

After much discussion as to where do we go next - north, south, west - and definitely not east which is Washington DC and cazillion people, we opted to head out south, then west Wednesday for Beckley, West Virginia, about a 4 hour drive from here, where the New River Gorge National Park is. Will stay there until at least next Sunday, if not more. Today and tomorrow we clean, get caught up on things, wash clothes/linen, in general just lay low. Will not be posting to blog until this coming Thursday, after we get settled.
